3 weeks.

It has been 3 long weeks since the Hargreeves stopped the apocalypse and saved the world. Five, to say the least, wasn't taking it well. Since he was technically 13 he couldn't legally do anything a 60-year-old could do, so he was having some trouble adjusting to it.

Currently, he was walking down the streets of New York to Griddy's, his only safe place other than the academy. He entered the fine establishment and quickly scanned the inside.

Inside there was one worker behind the counter and a girl, no older than him. She was sitting at the bar. He was about to dismiss her presence when he noticed a peculiar-looking briefcase at her feet. He took a seat on the bar one seat away from her.

"That briefcase looks really familiar, no... everyone carries briefcase nowadays it's probably just a random one..." he thought to himself. He soon ordered a black coffee and the peculiar girl next to him quickly took notice of him.

"Do you come here often?" She asked out of the blue while looking over at him. He narrowed his eyes as he looked over at her.

"No." he lied in a monotoned voice. She looked skeptical but brushed it off.

"Figures." She said simply while crossing her legs and looking forward. She took a sip from her coffee cup and Five looked at her once again before Turing forward himself and drinking from his just received a coffee.

"I'm (y/n)." She says sticking out her hand for him to shake. He looks at her with narrow eyes and slowly takes her hand.

"Five."

"Nice name."

"Thank you." He says with the same monotoned voice as before.

Soon the TV started to get louder as the following broadcast played,

"Attention! Missing 14-Year-Old Girl! Her house was burnt down and her body has not been discovered. Police investigators believe that she has escaped and is currently on the run." The reporter announced then a photo of none other than (y/n) appeared on the screen. Five see widen at the sight as (y/n)'s eyes narrowed.

He looked over at her glaring a bit as she glanced at him.

"Haha! The stories the policeman make up these days! I'll tell ya." She started laughing a bit making Five even more confused. "I'm not even a little girl I'm fucking 61!"

She then remembers that Five is still near her and she looks over at him. "Well, it was nice meeting you Five? Did you say your name was? Eh doesn't matter. See you around." She said simply as she hopped up from the seat grabbed her briefcase and walked out the door.

When Five saw her turn the corner he quickly teleported to the side of the building, he figured she was headed to the alleyway. So there he stood, his back facing the alleyway.

Just as he wasn't paying attention a flash of bright blue and sparkles danced in the air and when he turned around Miss girl was gone.

"I guess she was from the commission after all..."
